Wireless connectivity issue

[Dylan-L_0927]

I'll just get straight to the point.

I typically use 2 Bluetooth devices(earphones and fitness tracker) with my phone and connect to the Wi-Fi at the same time. I used to assume there was a hardware issue with my phone, where my Wi-Fi connection would always be really weak whenever I'm watching YouTube. I tried disconnecting one of the Bluetooth devices however, by using wired headphones instead. This made the Wi-Fi issue go away. 

Is this a problem specific to older phones? My phone is a Huawei from 2018. If I buy a modern 2020 phone would this still be an issue? As in would I be able to watch 1080p videos without buffering while connected to my bluetooth headphones and fitness tracker. The issue doesn't seem to happen when I'm playing games weirdly enough.

That sounds like a defective or badly designed phone. 2018 was not that long ago, a phone that's only 2 years old shouldn't have that problem.

Sounds like the radio used in your phone is doing everything and struggling at the job when not gaming.

 

I'd take this as an anomaly with your phone in particular

i find it strange that the issue resolves itself when gaming. The latency from the phone to the earphones is noticeably higher, but Wi-Fi signals remain strong. Maybe the radio signals are just poorly optimized for Android 8.0? idk

my phone is a budget model, which might help to explain the less than satisfactory design
